Fire performance of wood (Pinus radiata) treated with fire retardants and a wood preservative

摘要: In this work, we co-formulated an oil-borne copper naphthenate/permethrin wood preservative system with synthetic polymer-based fire-retardant additives prior to the impregnation of Pinus radiata sapwood. We evaluated what effect, if any, had upon fire performance properties retardants and whether impacted on fungicidal termiticidal efficacy preservative. The included halogenated phosphorus-based systems. A mass loss calorimeter, in conjunction a thermopile, was used measure time ignition peak heat release rate (PHRR) from which index (FPI) determined. were using termite soil-block decay bioassays. summary, found that growth reduced when combination also PHRR better determinant than FPI. enhanced against fungal attack retardants. demonstrated some their own.
